Ireland to be a 'test bed' for how sport would be affected by a no-deal Brexit

A barrister has claimed Ireland will be a testing ground for how sport is affected by Brexit if Britain crashes out of the European Union.

Tim O'Connor BL told a seminar organised by the Sports Law Clinic at University College Cork that top-level rugby could be most immediately affected, while UCC economics lecturer Dr Robert Butler said horse racing could also be impacted by Brexit.
